Pottery At New Castle

Service Description

This is a hands-on experience which provides a unique chance to interact with a treasured aspect of the local culture. You get to play with the Nevis clay and wow yourself with your creation. While you will enjoy this experience, your participation would also make a significant contribution to sustaining the local culture. WHAT TO EXPECT Upon arrival, you would be greeted by the master potters at the Newcastle Pottery, who would introduce you to the pottery making traditions of the island. Then the fun begins. You would meet the clay and the tools you would use. Your assignment would be to make a “Yabba” pot. The master potters would instruct you and assist. By the time you are done you would have completed the most important parts of the pot, but because it is clay, it must be dried, fired and finished. This part of the process takes up to one and a half weeks. But not to worry, the potters would complete the process, and for an additional shipping, handling and purchasing charge, mail it to your home address. You can then use it to cook your meals for years to come and have nice memories of Nevis. WHO SHOULD BOOK Families, couples, creative individuals or guests who love pottery. This tour is guided.
